Multi-faceted producer/spoken-word artist/MC, Alexandre Francisco Diaphra is a rising talent who will be heard throughout the world. From Guinea-Bissau and now based in Lisbon, AF Diaphra will release his “Diaphra’s Blackbook Of The Beats” album on July 6th via Mental Groove Records. His productions are an experimental mix of his influences and upbringing, rooted in improvisation – ancestral influences with experimental jazz, psych, mixed w/ hip hop and his love for non-quantized beats. Also, an award winning spoken-word poet, “Diaphra’s Blackbook Of The Beats” was rooted in the idea of building instrumentals in an outside environment, catching inspiration from his surroundings and sketching them out with his backpack, a bag of vinyl, a portable turntable and his trusty sampler.

Today, enjoy the first preview from “Diaphra’s Blackbook Of The Beats” for the instrumental song “Todo O Fado É Vadio” accompanied by a YouTube clip of the same song which highlights the overall process he used when making the entire album.
